everyone seems to like my little rants so much, i thought id post another one, just in case all the dickheads in the world havent come out yet, this might draw em out....i bet the first post is by one!...this is like fishing for assholes...lets see if i can catch one!
Fuck musicians! They ruined guitar! Fight back! here's how..
everywhere you fuckin go, here's another asshole with a guitar in your face screamin about "check this out!", or those guys who hang out at the music store and talk about guitars like other assholes talk about their cars......the only thing i talk about with that much affection and candor is my cock.
i guess its easy to see where most people's priorities lie.
you know ive been playin guitar for a really long time, but im seriously thinking about quitting. my girlfriend complains that i never play at home anymore...but man, i dont want to ever even remotley resemble the assholes that come to mind when you think "guitar" especially in her eyes. im making an effort to separate myself as much as possible. for my own peace of mind, and for hers.
even my classical stuff isnt sacred anymore, with dickheads asking me to show em this song or that song, just so they can maybe for once in their life get a little ass from some retarded insecure pop-loving girl who knows nothing about original thought and really liked the way that he just played dave mathews lastest cash-run of a tune, and she's being pressured to give up her pussy to the first meathead in a white cap because everywhere she turns, america is telling her to deepthroat.
you can hear the gears in her head turning as she watches this dick play...
"but who should i bang?" she wonders..."this guy playing the guitar for me seems nice, and all the girls want him now that he can play "stairway to heaven" and "nothing else matters"......he even looks like all the other meatheads with his stupid spiked hair and his retarded beaded/and or hemp necklace, so i wont be picked on for having an original male....perfect!"
and later that night, for all of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, she experiences the mediocre-unsensitive bliss of being an american girl....and they date.....for a month...and she does it again, this time a new kind of the same meathead with a slightly different gimmick....
never too different.
and all this, because some random fuckhead picked up a guitar for the first time....
he spends his time learning lingo and chords.
he says things like ""ax", and "les paul" and "the action on this fender is nice...." or "i need to get the frett board filed down...."
he says these things to dumb 18-year-old girls at holister or old navy....or "the coffeeshop" ....oh dont get me started on "coffeeshop people"....
i hung out with that type of crowd so long, i took to habitually fucking anything that crossed my path just to take out the frustration i felt at having to sit through those retarded boring stupid "intellectual" conversations day after day...
i must have fucked a million girls in that time period...or maybe a billion....and it was all those people's fault.
it was either sex or violence...i picked sex for awhile, that didnt work, then i went violent, it was fun but it still didnt work, so i got new friends, and i feel much better.....on an off note, loyalty (im a cancer, so its a fault of mine) is not always the best way to be. i should have ditched those fuckers a long time ago.
they werent mean, they were just boring, so it made it tough to leave em cuz they did nothing wrong...but you watch and see how draining that could be to your lifeforce having to hang out with it all day every day...
youll fucking shoot yourself....i cant believe i didnt. praise my strength. im a survivor.
i fucked for survival.
i was looking for something cerebral, and thats the best i could find in our society....
...now i'm trying to revive or establish some meaning or truth to this whole "goth" scene, because the tunes i make, are accepted by these people (and yes you are all very caring and nice, and much more interesting then my last crowd...<thank pan!>) ...
if this whole goth scene turns out as bad, im gonna give up on people all together.
i already have 1 foot out the door.
and this whole guitar thing is the next to last straw.
i know people that ive known for a few years or more that still have no idea i play guitar.
when i play live...(about 3 times a year now)...ive been known to turn my back on the crowd as i play, because i feel like a such a fucking sellout by contributing to this whole whirlpool of american rape.
that, and when i look around i see all the assholes in the crowd who "play" guitar too, staring at my hands....you can see them telling themselves "remember this, i could play that, just remember it till i get home to my guitar..."
to me, thats the same as memorizing someone elses words and later on repeating them to a new crowd and getting the praise....i love catching people who do that...thats why when i quote someone, i always say who im quoting....
im going to learn to play the harp (yes, what the angels are always playing) and the violin.....lets see how many assholes follow suit, when there are not "fretts" or little "numbers" to memorize...play by ear fags. play from the heart for one. i wish everyone who "played" guitar would pick up a violin instead....
you wouldnt believe how much our everyday life would change if they did.
if you see one of these dicks say something...put a stop to it. one of the things i wanna change so much about this "goth" scene is how passive the majority of us are. most of you have some really good ideas, but isolated in whatever bumblefuck american armpit we all live in, there's not many others around like us. they fear that rebellion might be suicide, and it would be, depending on how you go about it, but there are many ways to rebel.
and on top of that, if its just a numbers thing let me tell you, i myself feel confident verbally taking out a hundred meatheads in an arguement.
no problem.
if its the whole physical thing you're afraid of, grab a bat or a knife and fuckin attack the nearest meathead....call the cops yourself if you can (this always looks better for you) and tell the arriving officer that "i feared for my life" also say that you dont quite remember all the details. say it was all a blur, and you were so afraid that you just reacted....if you can give all the details, sometimes cops take that as "intent" meaning you were already planning such an attack, and you will go to jail then, so be careful about that....it really is a self-defense situation, but one look at your cloths, and they are gonna be all over you trying to blame you for takin out poor- all- american johnny football captain or whatever...you see my point. learn the laws in your town about self defense and make sure you follow them, or ill have to reply to all your emails with you in prison somewhere....(not like most of us arent already feeling imprisoned already right?)
that however, is very very very rare. the only reason i mention it, is for you soldiers of the mind stuck in ol' redneck land out there...poor bastrds. my heart goes out to you....
but the main point is stop being pussies. the majority of "non-goth" people i talk to have this image as goth people being a bunch of scrawny, or over weight teenagers who got picked on in highschool and paint their fingernails and run from anyone who tries to come after them...
physically, if your a little over weight. hit the gym. to skinny, grab a few burgers....then hit the gym. take some martial arts instruction...(this should be mandatory in our culture just like a second language) physical dicipline is really super good for everyone. i myself have a little tummy now, but i promise you, that will be gone by next month.
you know its alot harder to pick on a guy whos obviously just as strong as you.
and as far as verbally...this is the most powerful part of the whole "rebellion" idea.
i dont win my arguments because im intelligent, or good with words....thats what everyone thinks, but they're wrong. its because i am unblinkingly honest in a fight and i always try to make sure what i am saying is true before i say it. if your not sure, then dont say it....here's the steps to remember...
1- voice control. remain calm....always keep your voice low while they are mad, but when they start to calm down if they are accepting loss, then get louder, (see samuel l jackson in pulp fiction) this will help to even "convert" an enemy to your cause. remember most of these people are dicks cause they have never seen other wise...show compassion...(see- allegory of the cave-plato)
2- speak the truth....make sure your right before you open your mouth... the worst thing is to be proven wrong in public...you'll be a joke then.(see bill clinton)
3- act like you will hit them at any time but dont...this doesnt mean doing that stupid flinching thing that jocks do....just pace alot llike you're so mad that energy is makeing you move at all time (which it prolly will be anyway)...combine this with keeping your voice calm, and this will scare them....(see jack nicholson,,,,period.)
4- when they ask a question, answer it immediatly, get it out of the way....they ask a question, you answer, they ask another one, bam! you answer. bat em down like scud missles.....im sure you all have done so much bitching in your heads about these people that your answers are already ready to come flying out, but if not, sit down and write in a journal....vent. like i am doing now...itll be good for you as far as practice, and it will make your responses readily available when you need them most.
5- the most important one of all....eye contact. always keep eye contact with whoever you are talking to...if you make a great point and there is a huge crowd around, pick random people in the crowd and look thm right in the eyes as you make your bigger points...this will rally onlookers to your side in case you get beat up, they may even help if they thought you were brave and honest....(see sun tzu- the art of war)
and thats it really...this is the way of the dragon. this is how i will raise my children.
on the internet there is a whole string of different tactics i use for winning internet fights, but thats for another day.
let me know if you catch any of these fuckers. and let me know how it went.....(if it went bad, dont be embarassed, its a learning process...like spelling(which i never learned to do yet) beside i might be able to tell you were you went wrong or how to fix the situation and put you back in good standing with your peers. i seem to give good advise on this, so ill try not to steer you wrong.
strength and honor
(i got that form the movie gladiator. its cheesy, but its gonna be my new thing. told you i always site were i get my quotes.lol)
